To the Editor:
Near 2.5 billion people around the world continue to be without any access to financial services. Most of them are very poor and would climb out of poverty if only they would be provided with access to microfinance and microfinance graduation programs.
Microfinance can be considered as an international development success story, with steady growth since the 1970's. I think Prime minister Stephen Harper and minister of International Development Christian Paradis should seriously consider it in their programs to fight poverty.
